Abi Sinclair, aka Sister Lucy, hails from Devon and now resides in South East London where she writes "Country-Grunge headbandgers”. After the positive reception of her two previous singles ‘Dream’ and ‘Big Kid’ she is right back at it with another heavy hitter.
‘Best At Being Sad’ is the third single from Sister Lucy's upcoming EP 'Big Girl Pants' which is dropping on November 17th.
“The Best At Being Sad single is my internal monologue with unhappiness - The lyrics are self-mocking, cruel and impatient, I wanted to create a personification of sadness.” 'You're the best at being broken, you're the best at being sad'. We feel the emotional weight of the words, they suffocate and consume. ‘I tried to shake you off, but you stuck like rain'.
This song is on an unexpected journey, the lyrics contrast the strutting guitar and drums, we could be deceived by the sentiment of the song. The self-deprecator emerges, and we are hit with the line 'I can’t help what you make me do, I can’t help if you hate me too'. Finally comes the Sister Lucy special; with the song falling away only to then erupt into a guitar solo explosion with the words 'You're the Best At Being Sad' roaring over the top.
Accompanying the release will be an animated hand drawn music video by Sona Koloyan, which depicts Sister Lucy in her own personal hell.
Sister Lucy has just supported Coach Party at Omeara, played at Sŵn Festival and next headlining a show on November 10th at the Shacklewell Arms.
